Toe son of a leading lawyer in New York, some years qgn, vra« attracted by the innocent face and quick wit of a i Webh chambermaid in hia father's house, and declared that he preferred • her to all the faahiouablc beauties wlio had courted hia notice. His family protest ad. but to *no pur pose. The only cotioewdon lie would make waa to consent to go to Europe for three years lefuro marrying the Sir!. In the meantime, having an Idi ependrnt fortune, the lover placed her at one of the best school* in New York. The girl waa ambitious and devoted in )*er affect kit:* to the man who had chosen her. He returned, found hrr more lovely than ever. They were inairied, and the lady ia now one of! the leaders of -avidy in the city where j they live— a noble, refined, charming woman. An eminent jurist. well known in Pennaylvanik in the earlv pert of thi* century, wae "making the circuit" on horseback, and stooped for dinner at the house of a farmer. The (laughter of the farmer waited on them, and the Judge— who had been a cynic about women —observed the peculiar gentlenee* of her voice god a certain *wcet candor in her face. After dinner ihe farmer mid : "Mary, bring the Judge's home." Mary started to the field, which was % enclosed by a barred fence. Laying hev hand oo the topmost rail, she vault ed lightly over.

1. ■ m SEA ISLE CITY, Ladba bland. Hi. J. ENGINi?2S'a? REPORT. Sea Isle City is loralrd on the Atkefttir (A**n, on Ludlam Ulo*rd, on tbS coast of New Jersey . 3'/ 27 ' N . lattikud*, stid 74° 4 IT £ longitude, 60 mile* southeast from Philadelphia, and 64j imles by rail. It u lK iiiikw uortb c«s»t fioia C«|»* May, and aLoul the saint d iota n I'D from Atlantic (lly. The mean tem|**rature of I#udlaOI Inland does not vary much from that of Atlantic City, which t* 5'/* I. The humidity of :he atmosphere U •inular to that ot Atlantic City, l>«ing equally dry and aalubtioua. It is an II located for both a winter and suiiim«-ff reaort, ot# account of it* Climatic advant aye* The Island is 6j mile# in length, and va:ie* from j to 1| mile* in width, extending from Corson's Inlet, on the north, to Toansend's lulet, on the • south, and » surrounded by the Allan* I tic Ocean, Ludlrm Ray and rrav«|«l lo j Channel called the 1 borough fare, fur- | niahrng excelbnt advantage* for fishing, sailing and atillwatcr l#athmg. A beach 150 fret aide extrnda the | entire length of the Island, gently •helving, of very bard, clove pae-kejl •and, affording a fine natural drive for more than 6 mile*, and unusual facilities for wulking and bathing, which are not excelled, by any watering place on the coast. In walking, or driving, indentation is made uj>on the sand, affording, in thi* wsjtcct, a •triking contrast to many other beaches, where ' the aaiul u lo*«e and treacherous. The advantage* the teach affords fot bathing, air excellent, there bring no under -tow |>e»c eptible, and in tlna respect peculiar. The bottom descends •o gradually, that shallow water extend* a great distance from the shore. In bathing, no roj»e* are required, and it t* safe for wrmm and children. It is uifficiently north of Delaware Ray to »»e entirely free fit m the mud of the bay, •t.d bathing can always be had in dean, clear water. The "fast land" of the Island consists of low hills and ridge*, wilh level por» I ions of sand, which are found by actual survey to vary fiom 2 teel to 27 feet, the highest in elevation, above high j water. . The meadow lands are never wrer I flowed by high water, except by atom i tide*, which are of rare occurrence. The abundance of game and fv*b in the vicinity has made the Island fo» ' year* a favorite resort of sportsmen. The inland bay, known a* Ludlam Bay, affords sate still-water bathing. ! having a gently shelving shore, and I also safe yachting, and abound* in fish. system, crsbs, clams, Ac. One i«ortw»n ' df it ia only 1200 feel from the sea beach, so that on one aide suri-batliing can be had. and upor. the other aide 1 still-water bathing. The site selected for New Isle City te | on the northern, half of the Island; extending to the centre and then southwardly. It will hare * frontage on the Allan tic of three mile*, and extend inland to Ludlam Bay and the Thoroajhfare, | along whiok It i# practicable, and it is proposed M lay out and cons I met a carnage drive for the distance of more than two mi lea. It is proposed to protoct the City from high tide, by a substantial sea wall on the two sides moat exposed, and by emlwnkinenla on the remaining •ides, which con be done at a moderate expense, considering the economical and other advantages. Absolute security will thus be obtain l ed against encroachments by the aea, i that have occasioned much da mac- at Cape Mav. Atlantic Citv, Monmouth , Beach, llanhattan Beach, and other ' places. No other seaside resort at the present time, has the protection that w 1 proposed for thU place. The Island is uninhabited ; CTierw I being no houses on it except two Government Station*, and no eeee poole; | the way is clear for carrying into opera taon a thorough system of *amtary reg- , ulation ; such as you propowe under the 1 supervision of an efficient and OX peri- , enced aamtary engineer. The Island can be veiy easily eon- ; nerted wilh the West Jersey R. R , l»y a short branch mad from 4 j to ft milai in length, there being but a narrow : Thoroughfare to croawa with a bridge. A Government Light bouoe should be established on thia Island, as numerous wrecks here occurred on it, and by a tittle expense on the part of government in the construction of jetties, two excellent heritors can tie established on ' the north and south end* of the blind, . at Corson's and Tnwanend's • Inlets, which would become important commercial points by connection with ra'lroad, and a safe refuge tor vesa* J* in •tortus. The plan noon whioh yon propose to lay out tba City is calculated to snb serve the purpooce of convenionoo, health and beauty With proper railroad facilities, and lots offered at a reaaonable price, I do not see why this place should not bo eome a* great a reaort as Atlantis City, bv rssavn oi its nroximky to Halsd*! phta, and the riuisww of the beach. And when the sanitary queetron »s haken into i. nnt*^i»uioo, a plnee of ! seen greater i sain I live Wot Jffwoy Railroad ear make the some time to 80s Ule Ot* from rhiladelphis. as to Ailnntie City. m Respectfwllv-, • U FAKRAND.
